    Default quick fixes

    I've been a bit lazy with fixing my rear door window switch lights. I got to them this afternoon as I had bought a bunch of dash globes from the stealer. When pulled apart the globe fits perfectly into the switch! I had to extend the wire but if you're stuck short with a bit of fiddling they will work.

    standard dash light in bits


    I was on my home from the Terrigal meet when I stopped off at Maccas. I managed to spill coke all through the centre console . When I got the chance this afternoon I pulled it out and found that apart from the sticky black stuff everywhere there were also broken bits all over from previous shoddy servicing. The little spool that holds the gate cover was broken off and lying in two bits under the cover. I tried glue but I already had the soldering iron out from the switch light so I just melted the plastic bits together and it worked great.


    I hope these easy fixes can help someone
    Cheers

    great advice. I had purchased bulbs from radio shack to repair my sunroof light switch, This may have been simplier.
